Jarvis Landry injury: What happened to the Browns WR?
The Cleveland Browns lost Jarvis Landry early in the first quarter of their Week 2 game against the Houston Texans. Landry is one of the Browns' most important players given his leadership as well as on-field ability. His loss will be felt by the Browns, especially since they are already without Odell Beckham Jr.
Landry had one reception for nine yards at the time of his injury, for which the official diagnosis is a sprained MCL. He lucked out that it wasn't torn, as that would've ended his season. However, he is officially out for the remainder of Week 2 against the Texans, during which he'll continue to undergo more testing.
Jarvis Landry was impressive in Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs. He had five catches for 71 yards and was involved in trick plays that caught the Chiefs off guard.
A sprained MCL gives him a chance to return this season. The Browns will need him if they're looking to make a playoff run. Without surgery, he could return in four to eight weeks depending on the severity of the sprain. We'll find out more after further testing is complete.
Browns believe WR Jarvis Landry has a sprained MCL and he will undergo further testing, per source.
Jarvis Landry's injury is just one of many from Week 2
The injury to Jarvis Landry happened on the first play of the game. That, coupled with Beckham's injury, Anthony Schwartz and Donovan Peoples-Jones are their top wide receivers for the remainder of Week 2.
The injury bug has been ruthless in Week 2 thus far. Baker Mayfield suffered an injury against the Texans after an interception. He attempted to make a tackle on Justin Reid during the run-back, but went down with an awkward ankle and hurt his arm on the play.
Mayfield looked to be in considerable pain after the play, but luckily, he was able to come back. The same can't be said about other players in the NFL.
